So its a basic camera that ill have to charge every other day!
Its a nice idea, i have an android media player, when it dies i may think about it. But maybe its better to wait for the next generation of pureview.

First step in the right direction. I enjoy taking photos with my S2 and love fun apps like Paper Camera. I'm not sure what the advantages are of a P&S vs using your mobile phone, but hopefully this leads to m43 and DSLR cameras using Android. Bringing more and better apps (both free and paid).
